The collaboration between Angka-Tan Motor and JMC was sealed after both parties signed the Vehicle Technology Licensing agreement on July 1 last year whereby JMC granted Angka-Tan Motor the sole right to manufacture, assemble and sell the Vigus Pro 4x4 pick-up truck and related parts and components in Malaysia.
Angka-Tan Motor also plans to offer the Vigus Pro 4X4 across 13 sales and service outlets nationwide.
Warisan TC Holdings Bhd CEO Tan Keng Meng said Angka-Tan Motor and JMC were ready to introduce an "exciting contender" in the popular pick-up segment.
“The stylish and technologically advanced Vigus Pro 4x4 pick-up truck has proven its mettle in the Chinese market and we can’t wait to share this new product with pick-up fans across Malaysia,” he said.
JMC president Xiong Chunying said the company is a leading manufacturer and exporter of light commercial vehicles in China, and was thrilled to offer Malaysian consumers a versatile yet attractive pick-up truck engineered with the latest technologies.
“JMC has been standing as the second best-selling brand in the pick-up segment in China for many consecutive years,” said Xiong.
Prices and detailed specifications of the Vigus Pro 4x4 are expected be revealed this month.
The Vigus Pro 4X4 can be viewed at Angka-Tan Motor’s flagship showroom in Klang, Selangor. Bookings can be made at the nearest dealers or by calling 03-3359 6068.
